UFCThe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts organization, recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by Zuffa, LLC. This promotion is responsible for solidifying the sport's postion in the history-books.
UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on FOX, FX, and FUEL TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.

but no one wants to see him fight. i mean when's the last time you got excited about a jon fitch match. you know what he's gonna do 99.99% of the time. lay on top of them and win a decision, he's been doing this for like 7 years.

Fitch vs Diaz? Why? what for? fitch just gonna lay on him and diaz is gonna whine that he got wrestled to death.

you see it now. even though he's top 5 fighter, this is still entertainment business. even though ranking wise it doesnt really make sense to cut him, i definitely will not miss him.

This is not about Jon Fitch being boring, they cut him because he makes 66k every fight and is not fighting for a title. This is a money decision. Like 66k is going to make ZUFFA poor.

While no one will ever think that Fitch is the top WW in the world, this just goes to hurt the UFC's rep when they claim to have the best fighters in the world.

And contrary to most posters, I genuinely do enjoy watching Fitch fight. A search of my posting history will reveal that I have said this often. He may not get as many finishes as he likes, or talks about, but he DOMINATED his competition when he fought. Unless you are named GSP, Kos, Hendricks, or Maia, if you fought at 170 you probably lost to him.

You would think after fighting so many up-and-comers that he would have a little good will with the company and they would let him finish his contract first.

The real problem with Bellator is that you don't fight often enough to make a living. Look at their HW champ Cole Konrad, he retired because of it:
